Shit I probably only hit 10K like once a day. The need and/or the opportunity just don't present themselves on the street.
They do on the highway.

i have had alot of experience in the Ozarks chasing ZX10s and Gsxr 1Ks with my 636. I can corner inside them and roll open quicker, they can't. They corner hard and they have to feather the throttle on the edge of the tire, spinning and throwing rocks and gravel at me.

when they brake deep, square off, and get opened up on the fat part of the tire they drive off and leave the 636. All while spending major cheddar of tires.
